| Sep 5, 2015 at 3:32 | comment | added | gatherer818 | A particular widely-known anime says the answer to this question is obviously blow up the moon. Twice. | |
| Sep 5, 2015 at 1:23 | comment | added | Michele C | No need of the movie type of situation where they need to see the moon (except when they don't). It has an effect lasting for the entire duration of that night. I reckon that unless the explanation is magic it would be possible to entirely screen off any possible force, particle and radiation caused by the moon, cancelling the effect. I'd rather not go into "how does the moon affect them" aspect, as that may be material for another question. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 22:48 | comment | added | Ángel | Do they need to "see" the full moon in order to transform? Or would just the timing transform them? (eg. they were isolated underground in Theik's bomb shelter) | |

| Sep 4, 2015 at 16:03 | comment | added | Michele C | On all the questions re: silver, it is partially true that it repels werewolves, but it works mostly on instinct driven Lycans. In simple terms, it's a material werewolves are allergic to, but this can be observed in different measures, generally more severe cases seem to be correlated with lack of control over their were-self, even if it hasn't been scientifically proven yet. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 16:00 | comment | added | Michele C | As a consequence of all this conversation I think I will edit this question to ask what can you or your employer do to guarantee your safety, which makes more sense as multiple people pointed out. Patients in hospitals heal faster, unless their condition is genetical, in which case they get worse faster: serious cases will likely still need medical attention, and therefore some form of restraint for the night. Medical facilities are often run by military agencies, and divided in two sections: one for people who will be healed "enough" by the process to leave the hospital, and one for others. | |

| Sep 4, 2015 at 7:31 | comment | added | dtldarek | If there are no organized suites for "normal" humans in Lycania, then perhaps you should ditch that job and just build a complex of buildings for that particular purpose. Given the high pays of normal humans in Lycania, you should be set for life and beyond. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 5:40 | comment | added | user11129 | How do your lycanians handle patients at hospitals on that day? Do wounds disappear or transfer when everyone, including the patients and doctors and all, turn into their other form? You said their healing progress is faster but that likely doesn't mean much with illnesses or life threatening wounds over a short 8hour period. That might be an interesting workplace for 'normal' people, one where they can't avoid contact with werewolves (because these require continued medical attention). | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 23:21 | comment | added | Flotolk | Are they allergic to silver? If touching silver burns werewolves, just set up a silver bunker (probably a something the company has set up for you and colleges to sleep at once a month). Think 6 inch steel walls coated in silver, and every wall and floor being coated in silver both inside and out. Some air holes and after one mildly uncomfortable night, you can get right back to work. | |

| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:49 | comment | added | Michele C | SE suggests we continue this discussion in chat, so I did the thing. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:26 | comment | added | Michele C | Very true! In my mind the benefits in this situation would still overcome the risk. For instance on a daily basis crime and corruption being much lower in Lycania, which would mean yes you risk A LOT once a month but you're otherwise safe, while staying at home can mean risking your neck everyday. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:21 | comment | added | o0'. | Furthermore, incidents such as this one would be a huge problem for Lycania, which would go great lengths in order to prevent this from happening ever again. Or it doesn't really need foreigners, then the whole premise doesn't make sense anyway. Also try to answer this question: why/how it did actually happen for this to be a first world country in the first place, and why/how did the other nations not catch up? | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:20 | comment | added | o0'. | That being said, you could work on something like "employer does protect his employees" but "employer goes bankrupt or something" and "suddenly, employees are in danger". Sure, this only works if your story has to span for a single full moon, since after that survivors would likely flee elsewhere. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:16 | comment | added | o0'. | @MicheleC I appreciate you're working on it, but this is still not enough… "you don't ensure people safety" --> "nobody will come". Just look at the real world, with engineers going to work into third-world dangerous countries. If the employee is valuable enough, the employer protects him. If he isn't valuable enough, no reason to hire him in the first place. If he's valuable enough and the employer doesn't want to protect him, he will just go somewhere else. I understand you could tailor up a strange situation where this wouldn't hold true, but it wouldn't be really believable anyway… | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:11 | comment | added | Michele C | @Lohoris it is another issue I am trying to fix with a reasonable explanation; the entire scenario stemmed from the mechanic of 1-night-every-X-insanity-and-violence (thanks, trailer for The Purge), so a sensible employer is not helpful to me :) one explanation I have is that it's a people (race? species?) that still believes in the Law of the Jungle to some extent, so they would help, but not to the point they need to solve everything for me... another is that the offered solution is not safe enough and I want a better plan... (Suggestions on better alternatives?) | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:01 | comment | added | Michele C | While killing someone (full moon excepted) is normally considered murder, it is allowed in emergency situations, such as self defence - not only during full moon. My current idea is that of a stand-your-ground type of law. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 11:47 | comment | added | Pyritie | You keep mentioning bullets and guns but is killing others legal in this country? Or is it only for reasons such as self-defense if you're already being attacked by one? | |

| Sep 3, 2015 at 10:49 | comment | added | o0'. | On one hand I like this question. On another hand, it doesn't make sense: if your employer is so accommodating, how come he doesn't come up with a solution? This is really senseless, there's no way around it. They want to hire you for some reason (why?), will help you settle, but won't go any length to ensure you won't die? Makes zero sense, sorry, you'd better fix that :/ Thanks @Liesmith for posting an answer focussing on this problem, much better than I would have ^^ | |

| Sep 3, 2015 at 9:36 | comment | added | Michele C | @MediSaif the Lycans original people are all werewolves: immigration makes it so that there are normal humans, but they are scattered over the country, not enough to form a self-sufficient community. I like the idea of you/the character trying to form such a community though, you may want to incorporate that into an answer! | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 9:34 | comment | added | Medi1Saif | Are all the Lycan's werewolves or is there a big enough community of normal humans or more exactly is the majority of the people in this country normal or not? How about the police, employer etc.? | |

| Sep 3, 2015 at 9:26 | comment | added | Michele C | That is an answer I need to find in my world yet. I am inclined towards no, as the "normal human among wolves" is somewhat of a driving factor of the whole thing :) I would say that if it is possible, it requires you to be scratched but not killed (as per many traditions re: werewolves), which might prove complicated. You may ask a wolf of the benevolent type to scratch you but that still requires at least a month of non-wolveness. Plus it's not what I want to happen, so I will give other reasons not to do that :D | |
